Few questions on E85 and stock bottom end
This summer I plan on finally keeping up with my daily before the N/A mods become irreversible.
Right now I'm simply aiming for 420-450whp on my 05' 350z.
I plan on going the Greddy 18G twin setup, but with the nice availability of E85 in my area, I want to convert for the extra reliability and power. My fuel will consist of twin-pump and FIC1100's. The tune will be done at the Uprev @ Austin. (being somewhat local is convenient)
My questions are the following.
1. Running E85 past the 400whp marker, is it required to run the fuel return system?
2. Running E85 @ 450whp as reliable as running 400whp on 93 gas?
I've done what searching I have available on this forum as well as others so I'm aware of the other modifications that need to be done such as the teflon coated hoses and etc.
My current supporting mods are the Motordyne TDX2 Dual, Kinetix SSV, and a current Uprev tune. I plan on upgrading the bottom end in the future(next year). I'd like to increase power by increments for AutoX'ing so I can compare times and such.
Thanks

And for the record, cylinder pressures will break the rods on pump gas well before e85 is needed. So no need.
The turbo kit was sold already, the engine/600hp+supercharger setup is FS though. I was planning on just adding a 100 shot or 75 shot to the car. Would easily put down 700whp like that, and no one would be the wiser. My blower even has a carb eo number on it.
